    Are you running it on the 620hx? Does it run fine with that psu? I ask since I have the same psu and will be receiving my card in a day or 2.

    SEMI-NEW RIg.......input needed

    Yeh the UD3P is $17 more expensive than the UD3R for me . But from what I can tell I'm going with either of these two. Depends on how much I can save on the cpu. For the cpu I am able to get my hands on an OEM new q9550 C1 stepping for abt $US250 or $CDN305. I can also get a retail brand new...

    SEMI-NEW RIg.......input needed

    Hey everyone. Been out of the loop for a bit. I'm upgrading my rig (see sig.). Just changing the cpu and motherboard and keeping everything else the way it is. Thing is I don't want to spend more than $350 CDN or $US310 in total on the upgrade. Motherboard options are: Gigabyte P45...

    Q6600 Temperature ; Take a look! Need help please......

    Yeh I've learnt that each generation of chipset is designed to best match the cpu's that were launched with it. The 965 was never really meant to be used with a quad core. I mean compatible and overclockable are 2 very different terms as I have found out. Vcore is being set in the BIOS and...

    Q6600 Temperature ; Take a look! Need help please......

    The RAM is matching and from the same manufacturer. Its the one in my signature. Timing are the exact same also for all 4 sticks. There is no difference between the sticks except for the fact that I bought 1 pair a month after the first one.

    Q6600 Temperature ; Take a look! Need help please......

    My ambient temps at 21C so there's no way I would be in the teens unless you're referring to anything other than air. I'm fine with the temp as long as it doesn't exceed 60C under P95 with max heat stress. You're right with the q6600 under stock settings (everything set to default) IBT...

    Q6600 Temperature ; Take a look! Need help please......

    Yeh thats right. I can totally see your point of view. Part of me actually wants to return the q6600 and save on the $225 I paid for it. The mobo is gonna set me back another $100 bucks. Especially since my e6300 was at 3.0 ghz before the change. Dunno kinda confused. Been running at...

    Q6600 Temperature ; Take a look! Need help please......

    Ok looking at my buying options (im in Canada) which of the two would you guys recommend: P45 P35 Another reason why I don't really want to upgrade the mobo is that I will have to reinstall my Windows and since I dual boot it's gonna be a pain in the as* doing so.
